Tried & Tested: Tony Moly I'm Real Sheet Masks review

Monday, 23 October 2017

Thanks to the ever-expanding beauty section at TK Maxx, I've been able to try out a whole bunch of skincare and makeup from many coveted brands this year, all at budget-friendly prices (yay!). One such brand that I've been exploring more of recently is Tony Moly and I've been steadily working my way through their popular I'm Real Sheet Mask range.

Easily recognisable by their bright, glossy and colourful packaging, Tony Moly's I'm Real Sheet Masks were one of the first 'mainstream' Korean sheet masks that I ever tried. They weren't always so easy to get hold of in the UK though, and I remember having to order them online most of the time which limited the ones that I could try out. Happily now though, most TK Maxx stores have been stocking them, and I was over the moon when my friend texted me to say that she'd just seen them on sale for £1.50 each at her local store!

Needless to say, I asked her to pick me some up and these ones below are my favourites. Each one can be applied for around 20-30 minutes and has a different purpose (though a few of them are quite similar), so it's taken me a little while to get through them all!

If you have oily, congested, combination or blemish-prone skin, the SeaweedSkin Purifying Mask is the one that I've found the most effective, as many of the other masks in this range aren't really clarifying or detoxing. This one contains Seaweed extracts to help draw out impurities, but it does so gently and makes my skin feel so much more refreshed and cleansed afterwards.

Drier skin types will love this Moisturising Mask which is infused with Aloe Vera extract to deeply hydrate. It's perfect for this time of the year when the central heating starts to come on (a notoriously common cause of dehydrated skin) and is a great mask to use straight after a clay treatment if you're into double-masking, to restore the skin's moisture levels.

Best For Dull Skin: Tony Moly I'm Real Tomato Radiance Sheet Mask

Whenever my skin is looking on the dull side, I like to perk it up with a brightening face mask and bizarrely enough, Tomato is one of the key ingredients that often crops up in radiance-enhancing skincare! TM's Tomato Radiance Sheet Mask utilises Tomato extract to provide a temporary quick fix solution to dull skin - perfect for special occasions, nights out and upcoming Christmas parties.

Best For All Skin Types: Tony Moly Avocado Nutrition Sheet Mask

My favourite Tony Moly mask is the Avocado Nutrition Sheet Mask. Why? Well, this little gem seems to do a bit of everything. It hydrates, brightens, soothes and generally just makes my skin feel better and happier whenever I use it. So if you only try one TM mask, make it this one!

Been burning the candle at both ends or having to deal with a stressfully busy week at work or Uni? Give your skin some TLC and use the Rice Clear Skin Mask. It's very similar to the Avocado and Tomato masks, in that it helps to brighten up the skin, but it's a bit more moisturising which is ideal for tired and stressed out skin to replenish it.

Best For Uneven Skin: Tony Moly I'm Real Tea Tree Soothing Sheet Mask

Usually, I always think of Tea Tree in purifying treatments, but in TM's case, the Tea Tree Soothing Mask is a much more gentler affair and is brilliant for anyone who has an uneven skin texture. This mask helps to both soothe and smooth the skin, and adds a little brightening effect for good measure.
